Confident Ewe

Www.cyclecatalan.com continued. Through the region of La Garrotxa known for its goat’s milk cheese and a huge natural park with many extinct volcanic cones. Then on an amazing day of downhill as we continue on the old railway line, nearly 30 miles of blissful coasting. Coming into the medieval city of Girona through beautiful tranquil plains and allotments with the cathedral majestically dominating the skyline. City walls and narrow passages to walk along and some film settings from Game of Thrones. Loving Catalan with its incredibly strong, proud sense of Independence!

Breaking free! At last we are on an adventure. Fabulous day cycling along tree lined quiet roads with autumn colours and scented pines. With the mighty pyrenees in the backdrop - amazing how alpine like this part of Spain is, complete with clanging cowbells breaking the stillness of the warm, sunny day. A steady easy climb along an old railway route followed by a never ending descent freewheeling all the way! Fabulous boutique hotels in medieval buildings and of course log fires and a well earned delicious meal with a glass or two. A great 1st day on our www.cyclecatalan.com holiday. Thank you for moving all our luggage too!

Hi everyone, after 3 glorious years of running Confident Ewe I am sorry to say that we will not be operating anymore. Life changes and we have moved to Wales, so a new adventure starts. I have had a real hoot meeting all the lovely ladies who have joined an adventure or sought guidance. Thank you all.
I am focusing on my own personal development. Starting with a 26 mile charity walk, Thames Path Mighty Hike for Macmillan Cancer Support on 17 July. As a final request to those who have followed Confident Ewe I ask if you could donate to my just giving page as Charity's really need support this year. Thank you.

Winter Solstice is here. The days are going to get brighter and new seasons begin with hope and warmth. Watch the sun set today and look forward to better times.

Happy Summer Solstice. The longest day is a time to harness nature's energy to revitalise the body, mind and soul. Just what we need in these current times. Our Summer solstice Walk has been cancelled this year, but we urge to enjoy a short stroll this evening or tomorrow and feel uplifted. www.confidentewe.com

Today would have been our Bluebell Belles Walk. Here is a photo of the woods. Looking bright and beautiful today. Less foot traffic on our British bluebells this year will give way to even better bluebells next year!
Here are 10 amazing facts about bluebells https://www.kentwildlifetrust.org.uk/blog/vic-hill/10-amazing-facts-about-bluebells

In Remembrance. Courage, respect and honour.

We all know what it is like to feel stressed. Today is National Stress Awareness Day, a great opportunity to stop a moment, be in the present and think how am I doing. Life is busy and it is important to take a break from our rushing and stresses and make time for ourselves. So, take a beautiful walk, go for a cycle, have lunch with a friend and plan how you are going to book in that important time for 'Ewe'.

So the 2019 season of adventures has finished, year 2 for me and what an amazing year it has been. The people I have met have been fabulous, all different, unique characters with different lives... but sharing in common smiles, laughter and a sense of adventure. Thank you all for your support to Confident Ewe, the adventures continue in 2020 and dates are now published on the website www.confidentewe.com.
